Efficient tools to build your streaming infrastructure


Nimble Streamer SDI Support


Nimble Streamer has support for SDI protocol input and we’re working on SDI writing capabilities.

SDI input into Nimble Streamer

Nimble Streamer takes SDI input and handles it for further processing.

  • Get SDI from a connected device.
  • Decode and transform the stream with Live Transcoder filters: re-sizing, re-sampling etc.
  • Encode content into H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VP8, VP9 with supported encoding libraries.
  • Re-package into other protocols for further delivery, like SRTRTMPWebRTC WHEPHLSDASH, Icecast etc.
  • Record and play via DVR feature set with HLS and MPEG-DASH.
